James A. Ten Eyck 10 seconds in a three

man came to America about the middle of
April, and at once issued challenge through
the Turf, Field and Farm to all American
oarsmen save Hanlan, Gaudaur and Teemer.
Nobody saw fit to accept the challenge till
Ten Eyck beat Laing at Lake Quinsigamond
May 30. Immediately after the Worcester
oarsman formally accepted Bubear'sF chal-
lenge, and the result Is that the Englishman
won the first race that he ever rowed in
America. Both men were supposed to be in
prime condition, Ten Eyck weighing 1876
pounds, Bubear having reduced his weight
to 162. Local pride strongly favored Ten
Eyck, but from the iirsta group of profess
sionals gathered here, and have declared
We're rowing better than ever before, but
Bubear's Improvement had been most
marked, and he has developed into first
class oarsman, a distinction to which

Betting was very dull until today.
There was money enough in the market, but
the Ten Eyck men wanted odds. That ad-
vantage was not granted till to-day. The
most of the bets taken were in the ratio of
$50 or $75 to $1Co. Probably $1,2C0 changed

gan to gain upon Ten Eyck slowly, and at
the half mile flag was length ahead. Both
men were working hard. Ten Eyck's boat
seemed to stick in the water, while Bubear
was evidently rowing very fast Bubear
turned the stake in 923, and twenty
seconds ahead of Ten Eyck. He
turned quickly, soon squared away
for the finish. lie was six or seven lengths
ahead when Ten Eyck turned, and this lead
encouraged him to work easily and cut down
his stroke to q or 28 minute, save only
when Ten Eyck spurted to 33 or "a and ap-
peared to be closing up the gap. Bubear fin
ished IN 20.l6 1-5, and Ten Eyck 13s later.
The Worcester man has been both over
matched and oyer-trained, and did not row
as well as he has rowed in other races.
A large number of sporting men witnessed
the race, among them being Peter Duryea of
New York, James Keenan, and Murtie Down
ey of Boston, George H. Hosmer, Wallace
Ross, Peter Conley, Albert Hamm, John
Teemer, Fred Plaisted and the Bowdoin and
Cornell fours were also out in working boats

Bubear, covered Wallace R0ss's $50 deposit
